YOUR RV HAS ITS OWN WARRANTY—AND LEGAL ISSUES

Recreational vehicles, which include motorhomes and trailers, have become a huge market in the states. Approximately 6.75 million households reported owning an RV in 2017, and the industry claimed sales increases of 15 percent over the previous year. And, contrary to what you might think, buyers are getting younger: more than half are under the age of 45.

With the surge in RV ownership has come all the accompanying things that can go wrong with an expensive auto purchase—everything from engine or parts failures to interior issues, like a wonky fridge or leaky roof. And while these may sound like vastly different problems, you can go to one lawyer for all of your RV issues.

While most of the applicable laws are the same as automobiles, the consumer warranties are considerably different, says Dayton consumer law attorney Ronald Burdge, who’s been handling RV cases for more than 30 years.

“Recreational vehicles are just fascinating—in terms of the clientele, the consumers who buy them, and the RV companies who do everything they can to keep from having any responsibility,” he says. “You’ve got pop-up campers that might only cost a few thousand dollars, all the way up to million-dollar-plus RVs. There’s also a tremendous amount of fifth-wheel trailers, with no motor or engine; you just tow it, and the average cost of one of those is around $125,000. It’s not a motor vehicle, but it’s still a consumer product.”

Chrysler Group says it is investigating complaints about an array of electronic glitches, including potentially dangerous engine stalling, that could afflict millions of its most-popular models. At this time no recall has been launched. This is just the first step in getting to that point and many times do not lead into a recall.

The fault could be linked the TIPM (Total Integrated Power Module). The complaints say a faulty TIPM can make electrical accessories, such as power windows and theft alarms, operate unexpectedly even when the ignition's not on and neither the key nor the driver is in or near the car. Some of the hundreds of complaints say the vehicles can quit running, leaving them stalled in dangerous traffic situations.

Stalling not only kills the engine, but also shuts off power assist for steering and brakes, and depending on a vehicle's design it can also disable airbags.

This fault has been linked possibly to a TIPM that they have installed in the vehicles since 2007 which could affect millions of vehicles made from 2007 through the current year model.

CONSEQUENCE:

Due to the exhaust's proximity and the lack of heat shielding, the hot exhaust piping could heat the propane tank and cause it to expand and vent off any build up of pressure, increasing the risk of a fire. The exhaust exiting below a slide out room may cause carbon monoxide to enter the vehicle, increasing the risk of asphyxiation.
